A lot has happened to the world economy since Roy last spoke on it to the Lodge in 2010. Earth stelliums bringing speculative obsessions ‘down to earth’ will dominate from 2018 through 2020. Present financial policies are unrealistic attempts to sustain a system past its sell-by date. Will Pluto-in-Aquarius period that will follow be worse or better? Does astrology suggest that the changes we now face are as, if not more, radical than those at the end of the neolithic period, five to six thousand years ago?

The messenger of the gods is perhaps on many levels one of the most important planets in our charts, over the years it may seem as if this quick, swift and cunning deity has been overlooked, in this lecture I will be showing the powers of mercury in the birth chart and how we can utilise his gifts more effectively to connect us to the gods, planetary archetypes and the wider universe

It happens when all the planets from the Sun to the Saturn are hemmed between the nodes of Moon splitting the Zodiac into two. People born with this pattern find themselves bound by the events in their life and will undergo restlessness until the nodes reach the age of maturity. Rahu in the front gives rise to a materialistic life, and Ketu in the front will lead to spirituality. This necklace like pattern in the sky also plays an important role in world events.

The first Kuiper Belt object discovered 26 years ago has been officially named Albion after the primeval man in William Blake’s mythology. What might it mean astrologically? As the first classical Kuiper Belt object to be discovered since Pluto and the comet Charon, it heralded a new beginning for astrology online when it was discovered in 1992. We explore the possible astrological significance of this small icy cubewano beyond the orbit of Neptune.

These have been in use in ancient India for thousands of years to alleviate troublesome transits and appease the planetary gods.
